Summary: a gem from Cuba
Review: This is probably my favorite film, I've seen it 7 times or more. That it holds up to repeated viewing is a credit to the writer and director, as well as to the mesmerizing performance of Jorge Perrugoria.

Universal themes abound -- the need for acceptance, development of ethical conduct, finding fulfillment in bonds forged between unlikely opposites, etc. This film functions both as food and entertainment.

I'll echo disappointment with Miramax' arrogance in tampering with this film, and agree the opening scene's graininess is disturbing. Even the end credits have glitches, as if the people doing the transfer couldn't be bothered. Re-do the DVD transfer, restore the lost scenes, and I'll gladly spend my money again for a better copy.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Funny, funny, funny...
Review: This movie is great! I was in high scholl when I first saw it and it was very interesting. Now, after seen it 10 years later I understood why. It is very funny, dramatic and the script and theme is very current. The performances were excellent and the scenes filmed in Cuba were fantastic. I recommend this movie very much.

Summary: A must see movie-excellent
Review: This movie reveals the deep conflicts and emotions felt by humans that are polarized by ideology. It is an intelligent and cultural movie that can be appreciated by the worldly and open minded invidual. I bought the VHS tape to share with all my friends and family. You must also see: Guantanamera-same artists.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great movie
Review: This was a wonderful movie! Great location, great acting and beautiful characters. If you like foreign films (and even if you don't) it's a must see!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Un historia de todos tipos de alegria y amor en el mundo hoy
Review: Un historia de todos tipos diferentes del amor y alegria del mundo hoy. Otra "review" es incorecto-el historia es en el ano 1979, no 1993. Diego es un hombre muy fuerte, qui tienes mucho energia, amor por todos, tambien gustas los hombres. Nancy, German, Diego, y David son la familia moderna. Triste, felice, rico, y duro -eso es este historia, y eso es el mundo!
